Use the Best Car Paint Protection Brands and Forget About Those Scratches!

Why choose the best car protection brands?

So, who chooses the top-of-the-market paint protection products? They’re most commonly used by owners of new, expensive, antique, or rare models or cars. They’re installed by people who have invested in a factory-fresh paint job and want to protect it for as long as possible. Sometimes paint protection products are also purchased by car owners who enjoy keeping their possessions looking good and recognize the importance of maintaining resale value.

There are many different types of car paint protection products. Here at Tinting Chicago, we believe the most effective way to protect your vehicle’s paintwork is by using high-quality paint protection films. 

Different types of car paint protection products

Car wax

Waxing the paintwork on your vehicle protects the paintwork from dirt and grime but doesn’t prevent it from getting scratches and scuff marks. Depending on the brand of car wax used and the frequency with which the car is washed, a coat of car wax can last up to 4 months. Spray wax is easily applied and removed using a mild detergent.

Paint sealant

The best car paint sealant brands protect a vehicle’s paintwork while improving its shine. Many brands of car paint sealants offer solid protection against tree sap, chemicals, and UV light for between 3 and 6 months. Sealants can be removed using detergent.

Ceramic coating

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer designed to protect a vehicle from UV damage, salt, tree sap, and chemicals. Unlike wax and sealants, ceramic coatings cannot be washed off and last for between 2 and 4 years.

Paint protection film (PPF)

PPF, or clear bra, as it is also known, is a 6 to 8-mm thick thermoplastic urethane film that’s applied to a vehicle’s paintwork to shield it from light scratches from stone chips, swirl marks, bird droppings, acid rain, and other debris on the road. The paint protection film is the most durable form of paint protection on the market, lasting between 5 and 7 years, and often comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty. Importantly, PPF doesn’t alter a car’s appearance in any way.

Can you install PPF yourself?

Theoretically, anybody can install paint protection film onto a car’s paint surface. In reality, it’s a time-consuming, fiddly job that requires patience, practice, and a fair amount of expertise to get a perfect result. If you’re a new car owner looking to cover your entire vehicle with paint protection coating, be aware that it’s a big job that’s probably best left to the professionals.

In addition to skill, really good PPF installation requires a well-lit, totally dust-free workshop environment to ensure the film adheres as well as possible to a vehicle’s paint. This environment is unachievable in many domestic homes.

How to care for your paint protection film?

• Hand wash your car
• Avoid automated car washes
• Dry it with a microfiber towel
• Polish it with a microfiber cloth
• Remove dirt, bugs, and road grime as quickly as possible.
